Their faces may be a little more wrinkled, their hair a little thinner and their memories a lot hazier but these titans of men suited up to give us enjoyment every fall Sunday of our childhoods. A number of these guys have gone into broadcasting and are now a part of the same media they used to pretend was their enemy to fire themselves up. Others coach. It may not compare to the days they spent battling on the gridiron, in sub-zero temps, to the adoring screams of fans but it still beats a 9-to-5.

You can follow many of them on Twitter if you have a need to follow every mundane going-on and misspelled update. But if that's not your thing (and even if it is) we'll catch you up on where they're at. They don't have Facebooks to creep on all day so hopefully this will do. So Where Are They Now? Your Favorite NFL Players of the '90s. Click the mouse and find out.

Barry Sanders

Career: 1989-1998
'90s team(s): Detroit Lions
Former or current Analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

The man who jolted everyone by bolting from the league a mere 1,457 yards short of the all-time record. He was mum for years about what caused his abrupt retirement but eventually admitted he was sick of being on a perennial loser. Unfortunately (for Sanders), the season after he retired they made the playoffs and the year after that, they missed making it by a single game. His son Barry Sanders Jr. is a freshman on the Stanford University football team. Fifteen years after he jilted EA and forced them to put Dorsey Levens on the cover he won a fan vote (beating Adrian Peterson) to land on the front of Madden 25. If/when a satellite falls out of orbit and crushes him to death then we'll finally believe that the curse is, inarguably, real.

Jamal Anderson

Career: 1994-2001
'90s team(s): Atlanta Falcons
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN, ABC, CNN)
Hall of Famer: No

Jamal got off to a great start as an analyst, even breaking down sports on that trainwreck of a network CNN. But no one can stay on top forever. He was arrested (along with another guy) for allegedly snorting coke off a public toilet bowl in 2009. Last year he got a DUI. He's also one third of the players on this list who sued the NFL for concussions sustained plowing into 300 lb. men who run 4.5s. That's not to be confused as an equivalent with those first two sentences. He also lost his mansion after paying $1.1 million in back taxes. He expressed some shock, but let's be honest, when you're caught doing blow off a seat intended for bare asses, odds are, the banks going to come knocking at some point.

Randall Cunningham

Career: 1985-2001
'90s team(s): Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

Since retiring he went back to UNLV to get a degree in film. He's active in the Gospel Music business with his own Christian Rap group (Humility). He also still stays busy on Sundays, though now he does it as a pastor for a local church.


One of his sons (Christian) drowned in his backyard hot tub. He was two years old. Another one of his sons (Randall Cunningham II) has his own Wikipedia entry although he's still in high school. Randall (the first) was his offensive coordinator for a chunk of his high school career, and after Randall (the elder) resigned his son registered for a different high school. This season, as a Senior, he is starting and is a three-star recruit at both WR and as a dual-threat QB. He was also the Nevada Track and Field Gatorade Player of the Year, and did high jump in the Junior Olympics.

Andre Rison

Career: 1989-2000
'90s Team(s): Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

After playing in the CFL, several years after his NFL career ended, Rison got into high school coaching. First he was an assistant at Beecher High School in Flint, Mich. Then (in 2010) he became the Head Coach of Flint Northwestern, his high school alma mater. After two years (and a 2-16 record) Rison left. He has his own football academy, but the website doesn't appear updated.


He was featured prominently in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Broke, which isn't a good thing, because he was not too good with his money. He also pays nearly $2,400 a month in back child support. He currently coaches at Michigan State (his college alma mater) after completing his degree there.

Warren Moon

Career: 1984-2000
'90s team(s): Houston Oilers, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs
Former or current analyst: Yes (Seattle Seahawks)
Hall of Famer: Yes

The only black QB in the Hall of Fame recently took time from his business ventures (mainly marketing) to tutor Cam Newton and insinuated that criticism of Newton was based on race. He's also raising money for a movie about the first African American to start in the NFL: Marlin Briscoe. By the way, in case you're a Tebow fan who wants to see the one-dimensional fullback develop into a QB in Canada and then come back to hoist a Lombardi. Warren Moon (who dominated the CFL before you were born) says it ain't happening.

Troy Aikman

Career: 1989-2000
'90s team(s): Dallas Cowboys
Former or current analyst: Yes (Fox)
Hall of fame: Yes

He's now the color guy for Fox's A-Team alongside lucky genes recipient Joe Buck (pictured above, possibly drunk). Aikman is part of the Oxford Preparatory Academy Charter School Advisory Board in Southern California, while alson owning part of the San Diego Padres. And, like a lot of us, hasn't quite figured out Twitter yet.

Ken Norton Jr.

Career: 1988-2000
'90s team(s): Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

Norton has (like most of these guys) stayed in the game that made him rich and, relatively, famous. He coached USC before they sucked, coaching three consecutive LBs to Rose Bowl MVP awards. He then followed coach Carroll to the NFL to assistant coach the defense in Seattle.That defense was the top-ranked in the NFL last year, and held Cam Newton to seven points last Sunday.

Jerome Bettis

Career: 1993-2005
90s team(s): Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers
Former or current analyst: Yes (NBC, NFL Network)
Hall of Famer: No

The Bus who once scored three touchdowns in a game where he gained a single yard is now a part-time philanthropist who hosts his own Steelers oriented radio show (once a week). Like a lot of these dudes he has his own foundation. His charity of choice is for kids with asthma. He also recently donated 1,000 pairs of cleats to kids in Detroit public schools. Also, in certain light, he's starting to look like a bulimic Big Pun.

Shannon Sharpe

Career: 1990-2003
'90s team(s): Denver Broncos
Former or current analyst: Yes (CBS)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Shannon is a girls name, but the greatest Tight End of the '90s is still in freakish shape. Seriously, he looks like he could still hold his own on the world's toughest gridiron. Fitness RX took notice and slapped his well chiseled 45-year-old butt on the cover. You can catch him breaking down pregame alongside Bill Cowher, Dan Marino, and Boomer Esiason on CBS. He stepped away from the gig volunatrily in 2010 due to a stalking phase that we all go through, but is back now getting into media manufactured "controversies."

Sterling Sharpe

Career: 1988-1994
'90s team(s): Green Bay Packers
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN, NBC, NFL Network)
Hall of Famer: No

A Sharpe whose career was cut well short by a neck injury in the mid-'90s. The man was more than on pace for a Hall of Fame career. Besides being photographed golfing with Alfonso Ribeiro he breaks down games for NFL Network.

Chris Doleman

Career: 1985-1999
'90s Team(s): Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers
Former or current analyst: Offer from CBS withdrawn after comments about homosexuals.
Hall of Famer: Yes

The quiet NFL Hall of Famer runs a technology marketing company called Gateway Fusion. The website is here, but it's a bad sign when they can't get through their inaugural sentence without a typo. He (along with Bruce Smith and Jamal Anderson) was a part of the class action concussion lawsuit against the league.

Bruce Matthews

Career: 1983-2001
'90s team(s): Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

His nephew Clay and himself form a combo of uncle-nephew behemoths in a family more intimidating than the Gotti's. Bruce, who stuck around the NFL for 292 starts, got promoted from high school volunteer to assistant offensive coach for the Houston Texans in 2009. A few years later the Tennessee Titans hired him as the offensive line coach, where he currently resides.

Jim Kelly

Career: 1986-1996
'90s Team(s): Buffalo Bills
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

Recently, Kelly had a health-scare when it was found he had jaw cancer, but it was removed (the cancer and thankfully, not his jaw). Jim opened up a non-profit called Hunter's Hope in honor of his son who died from Krabbe disease in 2005. He also resides in a suburb of Buffalo despite going to the USFL to avoid playing for the Bills (which didn't work out so well). Like a lot of ex-NFLers he is a business man with many ventures to hold onto his money. Hall of Fame Life Promotions donates a percentage to the aforementioned Hunter's Hope Foundation. You can follow his "outdoor adventures" here.


His nephew Chad committed to Clemson. He was rated 84th overall and the 4th best quarterback, (and the number one player in New York) out of high school. He was 2-6 for 11 yards this past week in garbage time vs. South Carolina State.

Willie Roaf

Career: 1993-2005
'90s Team(s): New Orleans Saints
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

Today on Complex we're showing the hog mollies some love. Willie Roaf was the Anthony Munoz of the '90s, and unfortunately today's kids have no idea what the fuck that means. He made two all-decades teams while most of us are still working on our first. For most retired stars you have two options: coaching or analyzing. Roaf has decided to take his O-line knowledge to Santa Monica College. He lives in SoCal due to the weather which is easy on his NFL-beaten joints. That being said his house is for sale (at a $550,000 discount). He also owns a couple apartment complexes in Kansas City the town where he retired (though he recently admitted he never wanted to leave New Orleans).

Neil Smith

Career: 1988-2000
'90s team(s): Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

Neil Smith was part owner of the Kansas City Command, an Arena Football team that had to relocate from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Like a lot of other AFL teams they went defunct after a 2012 season in which they went 3-15.

Rod Woodson

Career: 1987-2003
'90s team(s): Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens
Former or current analyst: Yes (NFL Network)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Woodson was forced to retire in the summer of 2004 after failing his physical with the Raiders. In 2011, Woodson left a cushy part-time analyst job to serve as the coach of DBs for that same franchise. They went 8-8 that year, finished in third, were the most penalized team in NFL history, and Woodson was not retained after coach Hue Jackson was fired. So Rod has tried to catch on with another team whom he helped shutdown offenses for. He was a coaching intern at the Steelers' mini-camp this past summer alongisde another ex-Steelers '90s great, Carnell Lake.

Kevin Greene

Career: 1985-1999
'90s team(s): Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers,
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

The man who once hit Brett Favre so hard that the "gunslinger" got up spitting blood is now coaching up linebackers for the ol' perverts former team. Their fifth in the league in sacks since he joined (2009) with protege Clay Matthews being a big part of that.

Advertisement

Junior Seau

Career: 1990-2009
'90s team(s): San Diego Chargers
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Not Yet Eligible

Junior Seau's suicide was the most visible component of the NFL's concussion epidemic. He was a host for a couple different TV shows after retirement but seemed distant, depressed, etc. according to those close to him.


In 2010 it appeared that he tried to commit suicide for (at least) the first time by driving his SUV off a 100 foot cliff, hours after being arrested for a domestic dispute. Less then two years later he shot himself in the chest. For the last seven years of his life Seau was an insomniac which explains why the coroner found Ambien in his system after his death. Seau's brain showed obvious signs of CTE likely caused by having his head slammed over and over. His family is currently suing the NFL. You may be able to mount an argument against the Seau family but the NFL doesn't have to disclose what it knew about concussions as part of the recent settlement (which is fishy as hell). Either way we'll see how it develops.

Darrell Green

Career: 1983-2002
'90s Team(s): Washington Redskins
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

His son Jared got cut by the Cowboys in training camp this season. The former fastest man also said, then unsaid, that the Redskins should consider changing their name. After all it's tradition and for whatever reason that's a legitimate substitute for an argument.

Aeneas Williams

Career: 1991-2004
'90s team(s): Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals
Former or current analyst: Yes (KTVI, FOX 2)
Hall of Famer: No

Aeneas is the founding pastor of Spirit of the Lord Family Church in St. Louis. He spoke this past season at the NFL's Rookie Symposium.

Hardy Nickerson

Career: 1987-2002
'90s team(s): Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Former or current analyst: Yes (Bucs Radio Network)
Hall of Famer: No

Hardy spent the 2007 season padding his post-playing resume as the linebacking coach for an underwhelming (though don't blame their linebackers) Bears squad. Currently he's head coaching in Oakland for Bishop O'Dowd High School. This past week they got crushed by Terra Nova 45-7 to drop them to 596th in California and 8,427th nationally. Yes the rankings really (and inexplicably) go that far. His son Hardy Jr. plays linebacker for the University of California. He has his dad's name, same position and is now following him to the same college he went, too. Hopefully the comparisons don't make his head explode.

Cortez Kennedy

Career: 1990-2000
'90s team(s): Seattle Seahawks
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

Kennedy is an ambassador for the Seahawks where he became the most dominant Defensive Tackle of the '90s. Before that he was a semi-coach/advisor/scout for the pre-bounty-scandaled Saints.

Levon Kirkland

Career: 1992-2002
'90s team(s): Pittsburgh Steelers
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: No

One of the biggest and fastest linebackers in NFL history has gone the route of a coach. He was the head football coach at Shannon Forest Christian School in Greenville, S.C. Now he coaches at Florida A&M University on a staff loaded with five other former NFLers. His ultimate ambition is to be a head coach in college or, preferably, the NFL.

Cris Carter

Career: 1987-2002
'90s team(s): Minnesota Vikings
Former or current analyst: Yes (HBO, ESPN)
Hall of Famer: Yes

All he did was catch touchdowns. Now all he does is babble incoherently (though he can put it down on "C'Mon Man"). His son Duron plays for the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL. He owns the Cris Carter FAST program which is currently closed. And, like Aeneas Williams, Carter is an ordained minister who speaks at rookie symposiums to warn first year NFLers to not blow their money. He finally got into the Hall of Fame this year after being teased by a bunch of middle aged men since retirement.


Bruce Smith

Career: 1985-2003
'90s team(s): Buffalo Bills
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

The NFL's all-time sacks leader is the godfather of current Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel. He's also one of the few players on this list who sued the NFL for concussions sustained during his playing career. He say he suffers from symptoms associated with multiple traumatic brain injury and CTE.

Tony Boselli

Career: 1995-2002
'90s team(s): Jacksonville Jaguars
Former or current analyst: Yes (Fox and Westwood One)
Hall of Famer: No

The man, whom the Jags used to totally screw over the Texans in 2002, was an absolute stud tackle before he got a chronic shoulder injry. He wanted to run for Mayor of Jacksonville but couldn't because, well, he doesn't live in Jacksonville. He and his wife (former Miss California '87) opened their own foundation to help at-risk youth, while personally he lost a shit-ton of weight and now does triatholons.


The hulking giant also coaches baseball for his sons. On top of that he founded an Every Nation Church with the man he used to protect, Mark Brunell. If you want to hear his take, on the game he left too soon, he does color commentary for the Jaguars (and is regarded as one of the best in the business).

Derrick Thomas

Career: 1989-1999
'90s team(s): Kansas City Chiefs
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Fame: Yes

Thomas passed away about a month after the '90s ended. He had planned to attend the NFC Championship game between the Rams and Bucs. On route to the K.C. International Airport he drove off Interstate 435 where he and one of his two passengers were ejected from the car. The seat-beltless passenger died instantly, while another (who wore his seatbelt) walked away unharmed. Thomas was paralyzed from the chest down and died from a blood clot two weeks later.


Since the accident Thomas' family attempted to sue GM for $73 million for not building a Chevy Suburban that could drive comfortably in excess of 100 MPH in a snowstorm and prevent injury even without the use of seat belts. Officially it was due to the roof "caving in," but Thomas was guilty of both those transgressions. Two of the 12 jurors voted for Thomas' family to receive the money. One of them was a Chiefs season ticket holder.


A couple of his kids have blossomed into notable athletes. One of his sons (Derrion) walked onto Missouri's football team as a defensive lineman. One of his daughters (Alexa) was a Kansas state champion hurdler.

Terrell Davis

Career: 1995-2002
'90s team(s): Denver Broncos
Former or current analyst: Yes (NFL Network)
Hall Of Fame: No

An MVP whose career was cut short by injury. Now his Twitter has him promoting Terrell Davis Foods where the signature culinary contribution is his Mile High Salute Bar-B-Que Sauce. At the moment of writing this it appears to be entirely sold out on the website. A portion (which we realize is a vague term) of the proceeds goes to the Terrell Davis Salute the Kids Foundation. You can catch him on NFL A.M. though you'd have to get up at three in the morning on the west coast to see him.

Tim Brown

Career: 1988-2004
'90s team(s): Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN College Football)
Hall of Famer: No

He co-owns the Texas Revolution of the Indoor Football League who made mainstream news cycles in 2012 (as the Allen Wranglers) by signing and playing former NFL drops leader Terrell Owens. He's starting a NASCAR team as part of a diverstiy outreach program. He's looking for a black/women/Hispanic driver in a league severely lacking diversity. He also recently teamed up with fellow wide receiving stud Jerry Rice in suggesting that their former coach Bill Callahan tanked the Super Bowl on purpose. The next day he backed off that claim.

Thurman Thomas

Career: 1988-2000
'90s team(s): Buffalo Bills
Former or current analyst: No
Hall of Famer: Yes

The man who started over Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in the '80s became a household name in the '90s. This millennium Thomas has become quite the entrepreneur. He is now the President/CEO of Thurman Thomas Sports Training. He owned a share of the Rochester Raiders an IFL team that folded in 2011. He has his own global energy group but just like his helmet in Super Bowl XXVI, the site can't be found. If you see him let him know. And though he didn't pay us squat (because giving free links is how you make it in the business world) we'll set you up with his line of cigars if you're a smoker who's above puffing cigarettes.


Reggie White

Career: 1985-2000
'90s team(s): Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers
Former or current analyst: Offer from CBS withdrawn after comments about homosexuals.
Hall Of Fame: Yes

White died the day after Christmas in 2004, in North Carolina, due to a heart attack. He went to see Fat Albert the night before. Needless to say he died disappointed. It's possible that sleep apnea contributed to his early passing. Before his death, he had planned to build a movie studio to make family-based shows. Think Family Matters without Urkel building a time machine or becoming Bruce Lee.

Michael Irvin

Career: 1988-1999
'90s team(s): Dallas Cowboys
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN, NFL Network)
Hall of Famer: Yes

"The Playmaker" may be retired but still gets into trouble with the law like he did in his prime. After a 2007 sexual assault charge was dropped against him, it came back to bite him via a civil suit in 2010. Irvin countersued claiming defamation. The suit was settled in early 2011.


Out of court he is an investor and adviser for the Elite Football League of India. The only stadium the league uses holds 20,000 people which is about the average train in India. He also spoke in a 2011 article in Out magazine about how his relationship with his homosexual brother taught him tolerance. He also addresses the rumors of Troy Aikman's sexuality. Also, a few days ago he incomprehensibly predicted Dez Bryant would be the NFL MVP this season.

Steve Young

Career: 1985-1999
'90s team(s): San Francisco 49ers
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Here's a dude that you've certainly seen a lot of post-retirement. After all, out of every analyst on this list, Young is undoubtedly the best. After every Monday Night he's on the field for ESPN's A-Team alongside Stu Scott and, for now, Ray Lewis. He's also the honorary commissioner for the Best Shot Foundation which runs charitable dodgeball tournaments on college campuses nationwide. Young and his wife Barb are also keynote speakers for LGBT Mormons at the 32nd annual conference of Affirmation (the largest collection of LGBT Mormons) this year. That event takes place this weekend.

Deion Sanders

Career: 1989-2005
'90s team(s): Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys
Former or current analyst: Yes (CBS, NFL Network)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Deion's divorce to reality-TV persona Pilar (which really just means you're a babe who acts obnoxiously) concluded this year with Deion thanking God through Twitter. At least 432 people retweeted it to spread the news of Deion's divorce through their own feeds for some reason. Deion got primary custody of all three of their kids. Though she'll no doubt be trying to cash in on the fame of somebody elses last name sometime soon.


Deion has also been a major critic of the class action concussion suit filed by many of his former peers. Now it appears Sanders is trying to get some money for (among other things) "cognitive impairment." No help with the struggle, but trying to reap the benefits. He also has a reality show coming soon on Oprah's network. After all, they can't call him "Primetime" if he isn't in the spotlight.

Emmitt Smith

Career: 1990-2004
'90s team(s): Dallas Cowboys
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN)
Hall of Famer: Yes

The all-time leading rusher has become a non-bankrupt businessman since leaving the NFL. He participated in the "All Stars" edition of Dancing With the Stars where he was eliminated in week nine. Hopefully you didn't already know that. He has his own real estate company but we'd be hesitant to do business with a dude who got canned from a cushy gig as an analyst for being a little hard to understand.


He played in the National Heads-Up Poker Championship and is currently married to Martin Lawrence's ex, Patricia Southall. He was also at "Oprah's Lifeclass" in Dallas. Owns EJSmith Enterprises. He also tested a leaf blower on his face for Anderson Cooper. Smith is also reported to live in fear of the growing concussion epidemic, which makes sense since he carried the ball (and subsequently got pummelled) more than anyone in NFL history.

Dan Marino

Career: 1983-1999
'90s team(s): Miami Dolphins
Former or current analyst: Yes (CBS, HBO)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Unfortunately the most recent Dan "the Man" news revolved around a love-child (that his wife already knew about) that he had fathered a daughter via an affair. The woman, Donna Savattere, was a production assistant at CBS Sports with Marino and was paid millions of dollars since 2005 to keep the kid from the public (so...maybe she should give some of that money back?). Say what you want but at least he was supporting her (as in the kid) and her mother, who became a socialite the minute after she got the Pride of Pittsburgh to knock her up. He's also a "Men's Life Ambassador" (whatever the hell that means) for the AARP. He also still has his own foundation to benefit autism.

John Elway

Career: 1983-1998
'90s team(s): Denver Broncos
Former or current analyst: Kind of (87.7 the Ticket in Denver)
Hall of Famer: Yes

John hasn't really left the limelight post-retirement. He owns a couple steakhouses, sold a bunch of auto companies for $82.5M and still owns a couple others. As many of you, probably, know he's the executive vice president of football operations for the Broncos. Basically he runs football in Denver. He's also currently married to former Raiders cheerleader Paige Green, which is like...a good fucking deal.

Brett Favre

Career: 1991-2010
'90s team(s): Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers
Former or current analyst: Sporadically (NFL Network Super Bowl XLVII coverage, an occassional Southern Miss game)
Hall of Famer: Not yet eligible

For a guy who got ESPN coverage for mowing his lawn and picking up carryout he just suddenly disappeared. Now he's the offensive coordinator for Oak Grove High School in Hattiesberg, Miss. In his first game he bombarded the Sumrall Bobcats 64-6. He started off 5-0 but lost his 6th game on a Hail Mary. Earlier this year Oak Grove's football field was destroyed by a half mile wide tornado but rebounded and are currently ranked 6th in the state after scoring 45 points in each of their first two games this season.

Jerry Rice

Career: 1985-2005
'90s team(s): San Francisco 49ers
Former or current analyst: Yes (ESPN)
Hall of Famer: Yes

Jerry Rice Jr. plays for UNLV's football team after transferring from UCLA. As a Bruin he had two catches for 17 yards putting him just 110 catches and 1,828 yards behind his dad's college totals. Oh shit, we misread that, we meant behind his dad's senior season. If you want to keep up with the GOAT, follow his website where his Van Heusen marketing campaign seems to be as important as his football legacy. Seriously, the PR/advertising honchos who put that site together are about as subtle as Kim and Kanye at a world premiere.
